NORFOLK, Va. -- The Lady Monarchs ended the 2015-16 season with a 17-17 overall record and a 10-8 mark in Conference USA play, advancing to the tournament’s title game as the unlikely No. 5 seed and seeing plenty of success along the way.
After a tough start to the year, the Lady Monarchs opened the month of December with a 64-41 victory over Loyola in the fifth annual Education Day game. The win not only snapped a five-game losing streak, but also marked the second consecutive Education Day sellout for the Lady Monarchs. The crowd of 8,472 screaming fans tied the record for the seventh-highest attendance in the state of Virginia to watch a regular season college women’s basketball game.
